Often considered the grandfather of the genre, Wolfenstein 3D made a big splash upon its arrival back in May of 1992. IT ALL BEGAN IN 1992… This was quite the sight 25 years ago On a side note, be sure not to miss the interview I conducted with Corridor 7 programmer, Les Bird, toward the bottom of this review. I liked it a lot as a kid and it definitely has some charm to it. But that doesn’t mean it’s a terrible game. Corridor 7 was a day late and a dollar short. Suddenly, the Wolfenstein engine was looking a bit archaic. Unfortunately for Corridor 7, Doom came out just three months prior and blew everyone’s mind. It used the same engine as id Software’s Wolfenstein 3D. I vividly remember buying this game in the summer of ’94 and loving the crap out of it. The game is unique in the details that it allows you to use warps and the fact that you can see the aliens transform and change shape.Corridor 7 was released by Capstone in March 1994. The settings initially are of offices then the settings shift to settings that look alien. The graphics of Corridor 7 Alien Invasion are really good when compared to other games of the time. ![]() Every five levels you get to face the bosses who take a lot of shooting to take down.

This gives you the opportunity to enter the underground maze of passages and destroy every alien possible. Luckily the object is stored underground in the army base catacombs. ![]() This is the start of the invasion of the aliens onto the earth. The story follows that a trip to Mars brings back a mysterious material that opens a portal between Mars and Earth. Corridor 7 Alien Invasion is a game very similar to Wolfenstein 3D, with only the hands and the weapons of the protagonist being visible on the screen. ![]()
